Question

Calculate the final concentration of each of the following:

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 2 M

2. 2 M

Explanation:

1. Determination of the final concentration.

Initial Volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial concentration (C₁) = 6 M

Final volume (V₂) = 6 L

Final concentration (C₂) =?

The final concentration can be obtained as follow:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

6 × 2 = C₂ × 6

12 = C₂ × 6

Divide both side by 6

C₂ = 12 / 6

C₂ = 2 M

Therefore, the final concentration of the solution is 2 M

2. Determination of the final concentration.

Initial Volume (V₁) = 0.5 L

Initial concentration (C₁) = 12 M

Final volume (V₂) = 3 L

Final concentration (C₂) =?

The final concentration can be obtained as follow:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

12 × 0.5 = C₂ × 3

6 = C₂ × 3

Divide both side by 3

C₂ = 6 / 3

C₂ = 2 M

Therefore, the final concentration of the solution is 2 M
